Questions about ordering comics, release dates, pull lists, shipping or visiting our shop? Find answers below, or get in touch.
Pre-Orders & Release Dates
When will my pre-ordered comic ship?
The date shown on a pre-order product is its expected release date, not a guaranteed shipping date. Publishers can change release dates, sometimes at short notice. We fulfill pre-orders after the books arrive and are processed. If a publisher cancels an item, we will refund that item in full.
My pre-order's release date has passed. How do I check its status?
Visit your Order Status page or use the account icon at the top of our store. Select your order to review its status. Where available, the order details show the original expected release date and the latest expected release date, so you can see when a publisher has moved a title. If you have questions, contact us.
Can I order an incentive or ratio variant cover?
Ratio variants (such as 1:10, 1:25, 1:50 and 1:100) are not typically stocked or ordered automatically. Availability depends on publisher ordering thresholds. Contact us before requesting one so we can discuss options.
Can you special-order an already released comic or graphic novel?
If our distributors still have it available, we'll do our best to order it. Submit a special request with the title and issue or volume.
When do new comics appear online?
New releases are usually added to the online store the evening before Wednesday release day, schedule permitting.
Pull List Subscriptions
What is a pull list, and is there a fee?
Our pull list service lets you subscribe to comic series so you don't need to remember to order each new issue. There is no membership fee, and no payment method is required on file to join. Learn how to get started on our Pull List Subscriptions page.
What benefits do pull list customers receive?
Pull list customers receive 15% off cover price on ordered books, bagged and boarded comics, and access to occasional special offers. We also preselect copies for pull list customers.
How does pickup work?
New-release pull orders are prepared on Wednesdays when you have books arriving. Local customers can arrange biweekly pickup, although orders are fulfilled weekly. Monthly orders are fulfilled on the final applicable Wednesday of the month. Please see the Pull List page for full details.
Do you ship for Pull List customers?
Yes! Pull List customers can have their comics shipped instead of picking them up locally. Eligible domestic orders of $60.00 or more qualify for free ground shipping. Free shipping covers one ground shipment per order; if you would like books shipped separately as they release, additional shipping charges may apply. Learn more about our Pull List service.
What if I request a book after Final Order Cutoff (FOC)?
We cannot guarantee fulfillment for books requested after FOC. Please let us know if you add a late request so we can check availability.
What if I need more time to pick up or pay?
Please contact us if you need to pause your pull list or adjust your pickup arrangements. Repeated missed pickups or payments without communication may result in ordering privileges being suspended.
Shipping & Packaging
Where do you ship from?
We prepare our own shipments in New Jersey and generally mail them from Mount Laurel. Our online-orders mailing address is PO Box 293, Mount Laurel Township, NJ 08054.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on the shipment, including the weight of comics, bags, boards and protective packaging. Available shipping services and rates are shown before you pay.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Eligible domestic orders of $60.00 or more qualify for free ground shipping. This covers one ground shipment per order; orders containing multiple release dates are not automatically split into multiple free shipments. Additional shipping charges may apply if you request separate shipments.
Can you ship in-stock items separately from pre-orders?
If you need items by a specific date, we recommend placing separate orders for in-stock items and pre-orders, or grouping pre-orders by expected release date. Contact us before placing an order if you need a special arrangement.
Do you ship internationally?
We do not currently offer international shipping.
Why don't you use USPS Media Mail?
Standard comic books typically contain advertising and do not qualify for USPS Media Mail. To avoid eligibility and inspection problems, we use other available shipping services. Some graphic novels may qualify, but we do not generally use Media Mail.
How do you protect comics during shipping?
Single comics are bagged and boarded and packed in protective comic mailers. Larger orders use sturdy mailers or boxes with additional cushioning. Trades, hardcovers, large-format books and collectibles receive protective wrapping appropriate to the item.

Where is your physical store?
Mutation Comics & More is a non-traditional comic book shop located inside The Shoppes at Medford Mill, 18 Charles Street, Unit I, Medford, NJ 08055, near Main Street. You can shop our selection there, but this is not a conventional standalone comic shop. The Medford Mill has its own staff, and Mutation's owners are not always on-site.

No. We handle our own inventory, packaging and shipping. Pre-order products are offered before their release and are fulfilled once received from our distributors.
Do you buy comic collections?
We are not currently purchasing comic collections. Thank you for thinking of us!
I'm an independent creator. Can you carry my comic?
Independent comic artists and writers can email business@mutationcomics.com with information about their books.
Are you looking for marketing, SEO, web development or art commission services?
No, thank you. We are not currently seeking those services.
